Gasconade County Jail Overview
Gasconade County Jail is mapped as the county jail and sheriff detention custody point for this build. It is operated by the Gasconade County Sheriff's Office from the courthouse address at 119 E. First Street, Room 22, Hermann, Missouri 65041. The official online sources identify Sheriff Scott Eiler, the sheriff office phone, dispatch phone, fax, and email, but they do not publish a separate jail administrator, intake desk, capacity statement, or housing-unit layout.
The facility serves people arrested in Gasconade County or committed locally before release, transfer, court disposition, or local sentence. Municipal police agencies, including Owensville Police Department, may make arrests in the county, but no official municipal jail page was found. No Missouri Department of Corrections prison, BOP facility, ICE detention facility, or regional jail was found physically in Gasconade County in the research file.
Gasconade County Jail Inmate Lookup
No official online roster was located for Gasconade County Jail. The correct lookup process is a fallback chain that starts with the sheriff's office and then checks custody, court, state, federal, and immigration systems as needed.

No official Gasconade County Jail visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, public-visit rule page, attorney-visit policy, or visitor entry procedure was located online.

Mail and Money at Gasconade County Jail
No official jail mail format, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, phone vendor, tablet vendor, or fee schedule was located for Gasconade County Jail. RSMo 221.102 authorizes county jail canteen or commissary accounting, but it does not identify a vendor or prove that a specific deposit method is available locally. Confirm the person's custody status and the accepted method before sending anything.
| Service | Published Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Not located | Ask for exact inmate name and mail format | |
| Commissary | Vendor not located | Confirm whether deposits are accepted |

Booking at Gasconade County Jail
Local booking rules were not published in detail. The general process after arrest may include identity checks, warrants checks, search, property inventory, medical or mental-health screening, fingerprints, booking photo if taken, charge entry, bond or hold review, phone access, classification, and housing or transfer decision. These steps are procedural background, not a promise that each step appears online.
RSMo 221.040 is important because it requires sheriffs and jailers to receive people apprehended or committed by authority, while allowing a medical exam requirement before receiving a person who appears unconscious, seriously ill, seriously injured, or seriously impaired. Formal court charges are separate and are searched after filing in Case.net.
Gasconade County Jail Records Requests
When a jail record is not online, use a written Missouri Sunshine Law request to the sheriff's office. Identify the person's full name, date of arrest if known, arresting agency, record type, case number if known, and requester contact information. RSMo 610.100 defines arrest and incident reports and says those reports are open records, subject to listed limits.
The Missouri Sunshine Law page screenshot below fits the Gasconade County Jail records request process because no county roster was located.
A written request is useful for booking records, arrest reports, and booking-photo questions when the sheriff office does not publish the record online.
Directions to Gasconade County Jail
Gasconade County Jail routes to the sheriff office in the courthouse complex at 119 E. First Street, Room 22, Hermann.

Visitors from Owensville or southern Gasconade County should allow extra rural-road travel time.
No official visitor parking rate, jail visitor lot, public-transit route, ADA entrance, or visitor entry door was located online. Confirm those details with the sheriff's office before arrival.
About Gasconade County Jail Location
The jail's public address sits in a courthouse complex with unusual local history. Gasconade County was founded in 1820 and named for the Gasconade River. The county describes itself as part of east-central Missouri, with the Missouri River forming its northern border and the Missouri Rhineland identity tied to German immigrant settlement.
The current courthouse was dedicated July 18, 1898, and the county page says it is thought to be one of the few U.S. courthouses built entirely with private funds. Charles D. Eitzen willed $50,000 for construction and furnishing. A February 3, 1905 fire damaged the dome, roof, and much of the second floor, with repairs completed later that year.
This setting also explains why several jail-related tasks point to the same block but different offices. The sheriff handles custody and sheriff records in Room 22. The prosecutor is listed in Room 24. The Circuit Clerk and Recorder are listed in Room 6. A visitor asking about bond, charges, records, or release should confirm the right office before arriving because the courthouse address alone does not identify the right counter.
The courthouse context is local background only. It should not be read as a published jail rulebook, capacity report, intake policy, or visitor schedule online.
Note: Confirm custody, visits, mail, and money rules with the sheriff before traveling or sending funds.
